Carla Mearns

Carla has spent four years living and working in Southern China, which taught her so much about different cultures and traditions. She has been fortunate enough to explore many amazing countries all over the world such as Mexico and India. She has also done some fantastic bucket list activities in some incredible places, such as Skiing in the Swiss Alps, riding Arab horses in the middle eastern desert and whale watching in Norway!

She loves to visit locations off the beaten track, and is just as happy in the snow as on a beach.

Carla absolutely loved her first visit to Brändön Lodge trip in Lulea, Swedish Lapland. So much so that she has booked to return again this year but taking her mum and sister to share this incredible destination with. During her first visit she absolutely loved the husky sledding, spotting her first wild moose and witnessing her very first Northern Lights show!

Favourite Experiences

  • Enjoying the delicious food at Brändön Lodge in Sweden
  • Driving her first ever husky team through a snowy forest.
  • Lying back on the frozen Sea to witness her first ever Northern Lights display with our local partners.
